Antique Dieulefit Bicolor Earthenware Creamer - 4"

This petite earthenware creamer has a strong, rustic presence shaped by everyday use and traditional craft. Hand thrown in Dieulefit in the early twentieth century, it is finished in a dark, expressive glaze that pools in deep charcoal and warm brown over buff clay, showing subtle iridescence in places where the surface catches the light. Its small scale, side pouring lip, and sturdy handle suggest its use as a creamer or small milk jug, while heat marks and gentle irregularities speak to a utilitarian life that likely included warming on the stove. Dieulefit has long been known for producing practical household pottery, where simple forms and reactive glazes gave each piece its own character.

Today, this creamer brings depth and warmth to an interior. It works beautifully on open kitchen shelving, as a vessel for utensils or brushes, or styled as a bud vase with simple stems. Its compact size, dark tones, and timeworn surface add a grounded, collected feeling, offering a quiet sense of history that complements both rustic and contemporary spaces.
